1. Metro PCS

2. Droid 1

3. Bugless Beast 0.5

4. MetroPCS v3.5 beta

5. Everything works except for sending MMS. It can receive them, just not send them. After hitting send, I can see the data arrows work at it for a while then stop. It doesn't give an error even after letting it sit there for 5+ minutes. The data is working except I keep running into a problem in which data will just stop working for no reason. It seems to randomly happen after about 3 to 15 minutes. I have to reboot the phone to get data back up.

If I want to try using the v3.0 version, do I need to wipe and reflash rom then metropcs v3.0, or can I just flash metropcs v3.0 over the currently installed v3.5beta?
[Droid Eris Android Development] token419:
Just flashing over it is fine, its just overwriting the autostart.sh script with a previous version.

Great Job token .. although I have not been able to get this method to work for me on my EVO .. I was hoping that you may have had some success in getting mms settings to work on CyanogenMod :confused:

Please let me know as I have been searching for days for a mms work around or fix .. as this method does not seem to work for me ... any help would be appreciated. Thanks

MMS isn't working with Cricket on CM6.. It's not a simple setting problem, I think the messaging app is going to have to be modified. It's the exact same scenario on Sense roms, either the Sprint messaging app has to be modified or you have to use one from a Verizon phone. Unfortunately using the CM6 messaging app from a Verizon phone doesn't do anything, as it's the same app as in the Evo version.

This is the reason I gave up on CM6, and actually I've decided I didn't like that rom anyway, I like Sense, haha
[Droid Eris Android Development] token419:
Im almost certain in CM6 its the X-MDN issue as well, as soon as that gets changed on sprint based Mms.apk it works. I know it has to be in there somwhere, i just havent sync'd Cyanogen sources to check where its at and attempt to compile one.

Unfortunately for me, i love Cyanogen roms and the community around it, but for me its all about HTC Dialer/Phone application (I Love the T9 dialer to easily find contacts) and the Camera/Camcorder application (for me it just looks better and i like how its fullscreen instead of windowed), so i stick with HTC.

As far as MMS on the Evo you can try one of the roms i have listed in the first post.

For Cyanogen based roms, there is one linked for MetroPCS in the first post, you may contact the author of that rom to see what he had to do to Cyanogen sources to get Mms working.

I know on the eris on Cyanogen 5 my build.prop had to be set to the correct MNC before Mms started working.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Realm:
is their anyway on how I could go back to verizon?
[Droid Eris Android Development] deathsled:
I thought it might also be a size issue. I can't find anywhere in CM6 to change the mms message size at all
[Droid Eris Android Development] token419:
if you decompile Mms.apk its in one of the XML files, i forget which one off the top of my head.

I

cant find where X-MDN is, which was the blocker for Evo Sense roms, and i would like to try to find it in CM sources for all the CM folks.

I just havent had time recently to look at stuff, busy with work and life. But one of these days i plan to sync CM again and take a looksey again.

More Eris Roms this works with and tricks.

Just wanted to say thank you to Token for this incredible fix, it's been amazing. Just wanted to point out this works with xtrSense4.6 and Sensible 3.1. The way I got it to work with each was to flash Cricket v10, save the APN, wipe the rom and reflash it, then extract the web only fix from v9, flash the web only fix, then restore the APN. If that doesn't work for you, I've included my personal APN.

The one problem I'm having is I'm currently using Tenzo'sRCMix Beta3. My usual trick and APN isn't working, any suggestions anyone?

Cricket lost MMS and app connection

I have had MMS,internet, 3g access for apps now for months now. Everything running great till this morning. I had it all on Evil Eris 2 & 3, Ivan's Official root ROM and possibly several others I've tried. Can't remember them all cause I've stuck with Evil Eris 3 for a while now. This morning I woke up late, ran out the house and didn't notice that on my screen HTC sense clock had no weather only said current location and just blank.

Tried to correct it with what I have used for months now with no luck. I hope this fixes it. Will let you know?

For those not getting MMS working you probably need to change the username in the APN to your phone#@mms.mycricket.com.

Attached is what I have used for months now to fully flash to cricket.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Sounds like our problems may be related. Maybe Cricket did change something in their system.

I wonder if location has anything to do with this...

Where are you located? I'm in northern Colorado.

-Ryan
[Droid Eris Android Development] n0b0di:
Phoenix, Az.

Yep this one didn't work for me either. Made it worse. Now I have no internet. All I have is talk/text.
[Droid Eris Android Development] token419:
my guess is that they changed the proxy address, let me go ahead and create a new flash with the updated proxy, im still up here, but i modified my phone for the new proxy that was pointed out to me yesterday
[Droid Eris Android Development] n0b0di:
What did they change the proxy to? This is what worked before.

10.133.26.12 8080

Pulled from the autostart.sh

1 thing I remember is that the ip address changed depending on the market your in but for some reason this 1 still worked for everyone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] token419:
i am now getting 10.132.25.254 when i ping wap.mycricket.com

new cricket flash is up also with this change, let me know if anyone still has any issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
I remember when using just the web proxy it was something like wap.mycricket.com:8080. Within their network that may have resolved to a different IP based on your location, but I do not know.

Is there a way for average Joes like me to resolve this domain in the cricket network so for future changes, we won't be SOL until someone who works for/with Cricket gets the IP?

-Ryan
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
It works! Thank you so much for the update!

-Ryan
[Droid Eris Android Development] n0b0di:
Thanks.

Worked for me too. Guess they just changed the IP of wap.mycricket.com.

Is it different for each market or not? Read on Howard Forums it was different
[Droid Eris Android Development] meanm50:
Anyone having issues lately? My phone won't connect 3g now. It worked perfect for several months, but as of a few days ago, my data connection doesn't work. Keeps saying 'server reset'.

The only two things I can think of that would effect it are:

1-tried a Froyo rom the other day...maybe this did something? I don't think so, because the cricket_internet flash works for Froyo...

2-Cricket finally rolled out their Android phone...and they have changed some network settings so it would work on their service.

I don't see either of these things being realistic as far as my problem, but I can't think of anything else.

HELP!

EDIT: Issue resolved itself. Nothing happened, just random failure I guess. It was out for like 5 days...then all the sudden it's back and working. Seems faster too.

TO THE OP: Thank you for this. Now my lockscreen says 'cricket wireless' instead of verizon and my roaming icon is gone! AWESOME!
[Droid Eris Android Development] damjewel:
im in tulsa ok my 3G went out last tuesday morning and hasnt came back. tried the new v9 flash but nothing going. wnen i go to menu>settings>networks my mobile network just stays "grayed out" and reads turning on but never does. using the same settings for the last 3 months was running smooth. using prl 01015

any more advice? thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] t12icky0:
my suggestion..cuz i had the same issue like a few weeks ago..not sure why. i put the 1042 prl on my phone and did the *228 update for cricket and it worked great.

MAYBE THIS IS WHY MY mms AND internet didnt work token...will give it a try now. Thanks man!

****edit got the internet, and market working finally. this is the first time the market has worked for me. but of course token the MMS still dont work..LMAO!!*****
[Droid Eris Android Development] xboxhacker:
I have a HTC EVO on the metropcs network. The Metropcs V3 file works great!! I have 1x area with google sync apps working, web browsing, i can browse market (but cant download) .....MMS is not working :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] damjewel:
can i get a push in the right direction on changing my prl?

btw my *228 doesnt update i get programming unsucsefull contact customer service.

thank in advance
[Droid Eris Android Development] t12icky0:
you prolly chose the wrong PRL...what most people wont tell you is that you need a NON-EVDO prl to update. which is why most people choose the 1042 prl. it updates perfectly everytime.
[Droid Eris Android Development] damjewel:
thanks t12icky0 im up and running.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thelastjonin:
Help!

I followed all the instructions but the option to turn on my mobile network is grey and says turning on but it never does.

Youtube Problems

Cricket Phoenix here.

I have the Lightning bolt rom and once I got autostart, I had everything working text, talk, web, with one exception.

Youtube, no matter what I do it times out. If I use WIFI, I have no problems. Anybody else having this problem?
[Droid Eris Android Development] t12icky0:
i have cricket Kansas city, mo here. EVERYTHING WORKS FOR ME EXCEPT mms! Youtube works great without wifi. i use it all the time while im at work(lol). like i said tho MMS doesnt work for me...but that could be my rom, im running Fresh Toast 2.1(which i have heard has alot of MMS problems for cricket).
[Droid Eris Android Development] token419:
i found out cricket modifed their MMS settings, im going to have an updated cricket MMS file later tonight hopefully, sorry have had some RL issues crop up and havent had a chance to update

HTC evo finally works on Cricket...

Thanks Token.

The u2nl thing, and that addition to the APN, finally got everything working for me.

I'm using Froyo V8, and it's fast and steady..

Jiminy_Cricket didn't work at all for me.

:D

New Rom .. sort of web issues

Flashed a new ROM (xtrSense4.6) and have a 'sort of' issue with web ...

Am using Eris on MetroPCS and almost all works fine .. flashed v3.5 and 'double checked' using QPST and AnyCut and I can access the web using the browser .... what I can't do is sync things like the weather widget (also because of this 'connection error' the voice apps don't work since they go out to the web for lookups) ... anyone got any ideas what's going one here? (on old ROM [xtrsense4.0.6] weather sync worked, but voice apps did not)

TIA

Cheers
[Droid Eris Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
wow i've been looking for this for a while, i've been ON the cricket plan for over 2 months now, but i've NEVER been able to get my MMS working!

my 3G and market, apps everything already works fine with u2nl and autostart, but obviously since i'm on the cricket plan i shouldn't need it... but if i go and delete my u2nl and autostart files, my internet stops working...

so what exactly do i have to change in my phone to make everything work again without the need for routing and stuff?

i think it might have to do something with changing my APN's and my telephony.db file or something, but there is no clear instructions to what it is that needs to be done... all the instructions seem to be related to "not" having the cricket android plan, and HAVING to use the autostart and u2nl files...

any help please?

i'm using froyo
[Droid Eris Android Development] token419:
My flash essentially does 2 things.

1st it sets up MMS by placing the correct APN into telephony.db, this can be done any number of ways, apn backup and restore, building the correct telephony.db when the rom boots the first time from internal settings, or by using sqlite etc. I simply use sqlite since its available does not break any licensing.

2nd part sets up web access for those on a proxy plan, provided you have a 3g or EV icon. It sets up the web using a script (autostart.sh) that is ran by a 3rd party program "Autostart Root" which sets iptables commands, which directs all TCP traffic that was headed to port 80 to u2nl (a proxy forwarder essentially) which then passes the information on to the cricket proxy and gets web/apps working.

Part 2 is not needed for those with the android plan from cricket, since it is a proxy less service. For those that are on a proxyless plan if you simply delete /data/opt/autostart.sh or do not install the autostart root program, then all your getting is the MMS part, which is all you need.

This currently works for all non sprint roms. Sprint does something different with their MMS, which is why sprint roms and MMS do not get along on cricket. Verizon roms do work, but they are still not working on the back end 100% for cricket, though they do function properly to the end user.

I have a rom i built for Incredible which should work most like an actual cricket rom, and there is a rom for the Evo called jiminy which has the correct mms settings baked into the rom. I no longer have an eris, but soon ill have access to one, and if i can get ZachXTR's approval i will bake a rom, based off his rom, for eris with the proper cricket settings as well, which could be used as a base to port one to Hero. I have been waiting though, due to the wildfire sense 2.2 based rom that is currently being ported to hero/eris, as it may make an easier rom to customize to cricket, since i have already found the settings in the sense 2.2 for incredible and evo.

For your issue, if you just delete autostart.sh then you should still have working web/apps. My only thought is that maybe you only deleted u2nl, and autostart.sh still set up the iptables that directed traffic to the non existent u2nl program and broke the internet.

If you did actually delete autostart.sh and after a reboot your not getting web/apps then it means there is something wrong with your plan, since the android plan is proxyless and should work fine.

You can test if you ADB shell into your phone and ping google.com, you should see responses, if not, then your not on the android plan correctly.

Hope that helps some.

Metro Voice Search

Following up on an earlier post ... got the apps (weather, etc) to sync and so now all is working EXCEPT Google Voice Search and all apps that use it .. BUT I think I have found the problem, just don't know how to fix it ...

Again as background am running Eris, MetroPCSv3, xtrSense4.6 ... it appears when you use Voice Search it attempts to communicate with Google on port 19294 for TTS info and since web stuff on Metro is on 3128 you get a 'connection error'. If I use WiFi Voice Search works fine but not on Mobile ..

Anyone know a way around this problem?

Thanks in advance

Does ur MMS work? I'v been having issues keeping MMS working on my bro's eris. And now his GF's starting to act up, Both on ErisLightningBolt 2.8. I cant seem to get the other roms working with even internet.

Token419 I love the work and if I knew how to make a build I would do one for metro, I seen other roms out there like for the Evo to get everything working, But I use ur stuff on that phone cuz my friend doesnt like the metro rom out there and everything works but MMS, but like you said that goes back to the MMS stuff and once I figure out how to replace a non working mms.apk with a working one I think that will work. But of course if you want to or can build a rom for that... that would be cool to!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zdrifter:
As mentioned in my post everything works (web, sms,mms.etc) but Voice Search does not work .. you may want to try flashing Token's MetroV3 and then checking to be sure Autostart.sh and u2nl are in the correct place (use the terminal or adb) .. also Metro's size limit on MMS is very small try tests with very small pics at first to verify works/not.

Cheers
[Droid Eris Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
wow thank you for your very detailed explanation, but i just went trough my previous post and i noticed i omitted the most important piece of information!

that by "cricket plan" i meant the new Cricket Android Plan

ok so today i double checked with cricket, and some idiot had put me on the blackberry plan, which is why my internet wasn't working without the u2nl and autostart file...

now my web, apps and everything works great at about 130KB/s down and 80KB/s up, so that's decent (i was expecting more really).

the only thing that still doesn't work is my MMS. i've replaced my telephony.db file several times but it still doesn't work. i heard that there is a new specific server for people with the android plan, have you heard of that? or can you point me to the right telephony.db file? thank you!

and i couldn't find a telephony.db file in your zip file...

also on side notes:

i have an HTC EVO

and i'm running the DamageControl ROM v3.1.2 which is based on froyo, i dunno if it was ported from sprint or verizon... but i'm guessing it's from sprint since it's for the EVO...

and i don't mind updating to a new ROM, but it does have to be froyo because all my stuff from titanium backup is only froyo compatible now...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tech-9:
Try a different ROM .. ztahoez .. deathsled .. Fresh .. I have had success with these ROM's ... no luck with Damage Control ..
[Droid Eris Android Development] Realm:
I used the RUU but and rooted the phone again then went in to QPST to change the phone number as that's all I know and ended up having Voice and text working but no internet or MMS...is their anyway I can restore the original settings that were in QPST? I even did *228 but that didn't solve it

GOT IT!!! Eris on MetroPCS

You do not need any special ROM for the Eris.

Just use the available Android 2.1 ROM that is the normal ROM update from Android/HTC. File on the web: PB00IMG

Install that file. Then use Token's Metropcs v3...not v3.5 beta! Also install u2nl and Autostart. Download from Market.

You need to set all the settings on the phone via ##778. YOU MUST HAVE A FLASHED MetroPCS Eris!! Make sure the MNC is set to 27...not 12!

For the Eris, there is no need to use QPST or CDMA Workshop like everyone says.

Password is your MSL from whiterabbit.

Ok here is my story:

My carrier is MetroPCS and my phone is an Eris; before, I had the Stock 2.1 ROM, rooted and flashed with metropcs_eris_web_mms_v3.zip and everything worked flawlessly.

Yesterday I decided to finally try KaosFroyo ROM, after flashing KaosFroyo v37, I installed Autostart (root) then flashed metropcs_eris_web_mms_v3.zip...

Internet works, I am able to browse the web and download apps from the Droid Market but MMS is not working (When I try to send a pic it stays stock saying "Sending..." but it never sends. When someone sends me a pic, I receive the message but I can't download the file.

I then flashed metropcs_eris_web_mms_v3.5beta.zip but no luck even after multiple reboots... same as before.

Can you please help me with this? Is this a common issues with KaosFroyo ROMs or am I missing something? do I have to end up using a different ROM? because I really liked this one!

Thanks so much for your time,'

-endoki
[Droid Eris Android Development] zdrifter:
YMMV, but I have not ever had any luck with Metro and Froyo ROM's .. recommend you nandroid back (you did make a nandroid bu, right?) to your previous setup unless there is something on Froyo that is worth trading for MMS .. as mentioned YMMV

Cheers
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
Hey thanks!... Yeah, I did a nandroid bu. What ROMs have you had luck with?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zdrifter:
Am running xtrSense4.6 and feel it is just about perfect for the Eris ... as mentioned in a prev. post can't get Voice Search to work but everything else works great!!

[Droid Eris Android Development] Williamh85:
I tried this rom but couldent get MMS working, Do U have it working? IF you do did you setup google and all that befor just flashing the this zip to config everything or did u have to use APN and install the MMS settings that way?
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
Did you get MMS working on this ROM? And BTW, your carrier is MetroPCS right?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zdrifter:
Yes and Yes
[Droid Eris Android Development] Williamh85:
Yep tried again with this on my bros phone. Insatlled the rom signed into google synced and did a few app updates. Went to recovery flashed the MMS, insatlled Autostart, rebooted, allwoed, rebooted and working! Weird this is he keeps getting generic network failure but the MMS are sending... not sure what thats about but its working!

[Droid Eris Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
hmm which of those rom's are froyo based?

and what other configuration is needed for mms to work?
[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
Not Working!

No internet or MMS.

1. Carrier - MetroPCS

2. Phone Type - Eris

3. Current Rom - CELB 3.5

4. Current Flash - MetroPCS v3.5

EDIT: Installed autostart (root) and now internet and apps are working. MMS does not appear to be working though, it just says sending.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zdrifter:
You may want to try flashing MetroPCSv3, the v3.5 didn't work for me ... also when testing MMS note that Metro has a VERY small file size limit, anything larger won't go and I think it's around 245k. Lastly use the std HTC app for messaging, Metro doesn't seem to like things like Handcent .. hope this helps ...
[Droid Eris Android Development] arvinghost:
i tried both the 3.0 and 3.5 with samsung epic and it is not working ???

i pushed the u2nl, telephony, apn, autostart.sh, but still not working.

i have the 3g bars going up and down but can't connect.

any help please?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zdrifter:
You may want to search here in the Epic forum. The things in this forum are for the Eris phone and while there are lots of similarities between android based phones, there are also lots of differences, so it's not a surprise the Eris flashes don't work fully on an Epic.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
You also need to install the Autostart app.

It's available on the Market (if you can get it from Wifi) or just Google it. If you can find the .apk file, do an adb install Autostart.apk

Autostart.sh doesn't do anything without Autostart (Root) app.
